Dear John

Here's your weekly update from Church Action on Poverty. As usual, we have stories of how people are staying connected during lockdown and resources to help you do the same.

Gather with us: Last Gathering on the Margins for a few weeks - Tuesday 23 June, 2pm

Join our 60-minute virtual gathering at 2pm on Tuesday 23 June. We use Zoom - you can connect using a computer or smartphone, or you can dial 0131 460 1196 on a normal phone and use the meeting ID: 193 697 232.

This week (16 June), we discussed different approaches to campaigning and what issues Church Action on Poverty should campaign on.

We plan to continue having these gatherings, but in order to sustain them in the long term, from July onwards they will be monthly rather than weekly. Next week (23rd June) will be the last of the weekly gatherings, and it will chance to reflect and discuss what we have talked about and learnt in the gatherings so far. We really value your input, so do join us on Tuesday. Click below to join us on Zoom:
